| "Trying to Blend In" (11" x 11" mixed media) $125 |
Six days into this challenge and I'm feeling really wiped out! I keep trying to trick my mind by saying that I'm almost 1/3 of the way there, much like when I was learning to jog many years ago. I wouldn't think that I could go another step, and then I'd say to myself, "Just make it to that next mailbox" and then when I made it, I'd make another bargain with myself. Isn't that what life is? Many little goals or bargains, that when you add them all up, they make a great big wonderful accomplishment! This painting started out as a collage, where I randomly put pieces of collage papers, that were related in color. Then I painted in a rich chocolate color around the collage papers. When adding the drawing of the crow, I purposely overlapped it over part of the collage also, so it would seem invisible or ghost-like.
I'm so enjoying this new bird series and love the great designs you create. I also really enjoy reading about your process, struggles and all. Thank you for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie! You don't know what all the cheering does for me!
